Primordial Earth is a mixed-media installation created in the DRC over the past years.
It is a loose tale of creation/apocalypse and what’s in between. By representing the landscape as a living entity, a character with its own will and indomitable power, it offers to look at the country inspired by its traditions and views its beautiful and diverse environment as the origins of consciousness and as sources of inspiration for understanding, depicting and imagining our relationship to the planet.
The project is still ongoing and was first shown at the Lubumbashi and Bamako biennials.
